TIA TIA-866-D-1[E]

This Standard details definitions, methods of measurement, andminimum performance characteristics for access terminals. ThisStandard shares the purpose of [1] by ensuring that an accessterminal can obtain service in any system that meets thecompatibility requirements of [1].

Compatibility, as used in connection with this Standard and [1],is understood to mean that any access terminal is able to open dataconnections in any HRPD system. Conversely, all HRPD systems areable to open connections with any access terminal.

Test methods are recommended in this document; however, methodsother than those recommended may suffice for the same purpose.

The performance metrics in this Standard require an accessterminal to provide a single antenna connector for testing. Accessterminals having multiple antenna, such as for receive diversity,shall provide a single antenna connector for testing. If an accessterminal has more than one antenna connector, only one connectorshall be used for testing. Additional requirements specifically formultiple antenna configurations, i.e. receive diversity, are forfuture study.

Requirements Terminology

“Shall” and “shall not” identify requirements to be followedstrictly to conform to this document and from which no deviation ispermitted. “Should” and “should not” indicate that one of severalpossibilities is recommended as particularly suitable, withoutmentioning or excluding others, that a certain course of action ispreferred but not necessarily required, or that (in the negativeform) a certain possibility or course of action is discouraged butnot prohibited. “May” and “need not” indicate a course of actionpermissible within the limits of the document. “Can” and “cannot”are used for statements of possibility and capability, whethermaterial, physical or causal.
